Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Barb: it could be a number of things, a few of which you mentioned.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Take your temperature daily for awhile. You may be coming down with a cold or some other kind of infection. My bgs are my early warning system. I even had higher than usual bgs for about three days after I broke my foot!

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 I had been to the doctor the day before for a badly sprained wrist. Never would have connected it if you had not said something. Then I starved myself because the bg was so high which I guess made my liver kick in more glucose. Viscous cycle - live and learn - thanks for the input. Barb in NH Re: High BG Numbers today Take your temperature daily for awhile. You may be coming down with a cold or some other kind of infection.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Glad you figured it out. I just increased the insulin for a couple of days until everything settled down, but on oral meds only it was really impossible to control the infection/trauma related rises. I now find myself being super careful about where I walk in order to avoid any more falls, even to picking up little pieces of paper from the floor - in my house or anyone else's, LOL.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Carol, I just got out of the hospital from a fall. I fell on my face, chiped some teeth and swallowed the sharp pieces, on accidentm and tore my throat and my pharynx. They think I fainted due to high blood sugar. I wanted to warn diabetics regarding cellutius infections. (infections under the skin). I had one which turned into flesh eating bacteria (necrotizing fasciitis). A very rare complication of diabetes. About 75% of people who get NF are diabetic. It is caused by the same bacteria which caused strep throat, but in some (like in some diabetics) it can become antibiotic resistant and invasive. Mortality rate is 80% in most regions, it masks as the flu and is often misdiagnoised until it is too late. Marla Re: High BG Numbers today Glad you figured it out.
